Families wanting to enroll their child(ren) at Jefferson Academy will participate in EnrollJeffco January22 – February 8, 2019 (First Round).This process will be completed online with Jefferson County Schools. At the end of this time frame, random lotteries will be held: one for siblings, one for in-county residents and one for out-of-county residents. Families will be automatically contacted mid-February with a confirmation of their selections, possible enrollment opportunities, and/or their child’s placement on other wait lists.

When a family is offered and has accepted a position, they will be notified of the required documents needed to enroll. Jefferson County residents will need to provide proof of residency.
